Abstract

Background of study: Kano Metropolis is experiencing rapid urban growth, creating an urgent need for a modern and efficient urban transport system. Among its key corridors, Zaria Road has emerged as a promising candidate for development using a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) model to address the challenges posed by current informal and inefficient transportation modes. Aims and scope of paper: This study assesses the feasibility of BRT implementation on Zaria Road by examining traffic patterns, passenger flow, and key traffic nodes, leading to infrastructure and design recommendations. Methods: A mixed-method approach combined field surveys, traffic and passenger counts, questionnaires, and stakeholder interviews with secondary data from recent literature. The analysis used both descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: Public transport on Zaria Road is largely informal, with 65% of operators unlicensed. Tricycles dominate at 67%, averaging 37,198 daily—far surpassing buses and taxis. Peak hours (5–6 a.m. and 9–10 a.m.) see up to 18,960 passengers, mainly commuting from residential areas to key hubs like motor parks, markets, and hospitals. Conclusion: Zaria Road's 90-meter right of way and high passenger demand make it well-suited for BRT development. A 15.9 km corridor with 54 proposed stops is recommended, supported by public-private partnerships and tricycle restrictions to ensure success.

Abstract

Background of study: Deforestation has emerged as a major environmental and socio-economic concern, particularly in developing regions where agriculture serves as the primary livelihood. In Benue South, Nigeria, forest degradation is accelerating due to illegal logging, population pressure, and unregulated farming practices—posing a direct threat to agricultural productivity, food security, and rural livelihoods. Aims and scope of paper: This study aims to assess the perceived impact of deforestation on agricultural activities in Benue South and to identify appropriate community-based management strategies to mitigate its negative effects. The scope includes examining both environmental consequences and socio-economic responses from affected farming communities. Methods: A mixed-method approach was employed, combining structured questionnaires administered to 729 respondents across five Local Government Areas (LGAs) with Key Informant Interviews (KIIs). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Relative Importance Index (RII) to rank the severity of perceived deforestation impacts. Result: Findings reveal that deforestation has led to significant declines in crop yield, soil fertility, and food availability. Respondents also reported increased farm input costs and heightened migration pressure. RII analysis ranked decreased agricultural productivity and climate irregularities as the most critical consequences. Community awareness of forest regulations and reforestation practices was found to be low. Conclusion: Deforestation in Benue South has a profound negative effect on agriculture and rural stability. To address these challenges, integrated strategies such as participatory forest management, environmental education, and conservation-based farming should be prioritized. Policy alignment between local communities and environmental agencies is essential for sustainable land use.
